All things new iOS users deel with. Please don't think me patronising but frustration slows down the learning curve quite a lot. Everything is rational and accessible but not expected or in a manner most of us expect. ESP people like me from a windows background.
The first thing to remember is that each field you want to add or change information in has to be made active like entering into forms mode in jfw. Touch a field like last name and then lift your finger and tap twice anywhere on the screen and this will activate the field. Touch to highlight the field or controll then 1 finger double tap to start editing. Sounds like your trouble is you don't do this again on the next field. The way to know an edit field is activated is when you touch the field it will say the field name followed by is editing. Eg in my mail message the subject says subject text field. Double tap to edit but the message body says message body text field editing. Some times you will find a back next and done button just above the keyboard. Think of them as shift tab tab and ok. Back and next will move you back and forth through the fields making your current field active automatically. Done Is pretty self explanatory. It's an ok button for the mobile button, I don't know anyone who didn't think it was for putting in the number. Me and my friends sure did. Smile. This is a button you can press to get a list of number types. There labels but in the case of iPhone, if someone has iPhone set for their number you can automatically send them iMessages saving SMS charges plus use FaceTime etc. not esenchal but very handy.
